"Championship leaders Coventry City dropped points for the third time in four games after they hung on for a 1-1 draw against Southampton. Ephron Mason-Clark put Frank Lampard's side ahead just before the break, but a straight red card for Jay Dasilva in the 47th minute complicated things for the visitors. Nathan Wood levelled proceedings soon after, but the Saints, who produced 1.31 expected goals (xG) from 23 shots to Coventry's 0.48 from four attempts, were unable to find a winner at home."
"Data Debrief: Eckert restores Southampton's hopes Southampton have secured 19 points (W6 D1 L2) from a possible 27 on offer since Tonda Eckert took charge on November 5. The Saints have moved up to 11th in the Championship, with only Coventry (20) winning more points from the last 10 games in the league. Meanwhile, Middlesbrough attempted 28 shots in their defeat, their highest total in a single match in the Championship this season, and accumulated 1.93 xG despite only three shots hitting the target."
"Goals from Emil Riis and Rob Atkinson, either side of the break, were enough to snap Boro's four-game winning streak and hand Kim Hellberg his first defeat since taking charge. Ipswich Town and Hull City, meanwhile, both closed the gap on the automatic promotion places with wins over Sheffield Wednesday and West Brom, respectively. Cedric Kipre, Jaden Philogene and Jack Clarke all got on the scoresheet for Ipswich in a routine 3-1 win over Wednesday,"
Coventry City drew 1-1 away to Southampton after Ephron Mason-Clark's first-half goal and a 47th-minute red card for Jay Dasilva. Nathan Wood equalised soon after the sending-off, and Southampton outshot Coventry 23-4 and produced 1.31 xG to Coventry's 0.48 but failed to score a winner. Coventry remain six points clear at the Championship summit after Middlesbrough lost 2-0 at Bristol City, where Emil Riis and Rob Atkinson scored. Ipswich beat Sheffield Wednesday 3-1 with goals from Cedric Kipre, Jaden Philogene and Jack Clarke. Hull won 1-0 via Oli McBurnie's penalty. Since November 5, Southampton have taken 19 points under Tonda Eckert.
